Exploring the Blessings in Daily Life • Safety is not merely political or military; it is God-granted rest (cf. Psalm 4:8). • Stability means the land produces reliably (see v. 19); obedience invites God’s ongoing provision. • Peace allows families to plan for the future without anxiety (cf. Proverbs 3:1-2).
